The New England Symposium on Graphics brings the New England computer graphics and vision research community together for a day of networking, technical talks, and exchanging ideas. Outside community members are welcome to attend for a series of broadly-accessible talks and presentations related to visual computing.

Come celebrate MIT Museum's Inaugural DNA Day Celebration on April 26, 2025.National DNA Day commemorates both the discovery of DNA's double helix structure in 1953 and the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003. Join us to learn about and celebrate advances in genomic research and explore how those advances impact our lives.See if you can complete our DNA scavenger hunt - can you find some of the equipment used to sequence the human genome for the very first time?Next: code your name into a DNA bracelet, try some bioengineering by designing a plasmid, or share your stance on today's hot topics in genetics in a conversation-sparking card game.Plus! Explore the work of bio-artists raising questions about the future of genetic editing in our Gene Cultures exhibit or ask your own questions of MIT scientists.All activities are free with museum admission.Full Schedule:10am - 4pm Museum-wide: DNA Scavenger HuntPick up a DNA scavenger hunt from the front desk. Find items on display in our exhibits and complete tasks throughout the museum. Open to museum visitors of all ages.10:30am - 12:30pm, 2:00pm - 4:00pm Lobby: Ask a Scientist!MIT scientists are ready to answer questions like: What do you do all day? and What's the big deal about DNA anyway? Open to museum visitors of all ages.12:30 - 4:30pm Maker Hub: DNA BraceletsCode your name into the alphabet of DNA using beads! Open to museum visitors of all ages.1:00 - 1:45pm The Exchange: Introduction to Personal Genetics with PGEDLearn about how genetics has evolved since the completion of the Human Genome Project with an interactive presentation from Personal Genetics Education and Dialogue. Recommended for museum visitors age 14+.2:00 - 4:00pm Learning Lab 1: Share Your Stance! with PGEDPlay a conversation-sparking card game to share your thoughts on today's hot topics in genetics! Recommended for museum visitors age 14+.Please note: the Share Your Stance game will be ticketed upon admission to reserve seating. Drop-in spots may be available after 2:30pm.2:00 - 4:00pm Learning Lab 2: Design a PlasmidSolve a problem using genetic engineering! Play with the building blocks of life by putting together a puzzle that mimics how bio-engineers assemble genes. Recommended for museum visitors age 14+.
